Mixed Use

Mixed use development refers to development projects that comprise a mixture of land uses, or more than just a single use. In terms of planning permissions, it is land or
buildings used for different uses which fall into more than one use class.

A mixed-use aims to combine three or more uses into one structure. It brings together several uses within either one building or a small area.

Vertical: Combines different uses within the same building. Provides for more public uses on the lower floor such as retail shops, restaurants, of commercial businesses. Provides for more private uses on the upper floors such as residential units, hotel rooms, or office space
Horizontal: Spread over several buildings, these individual buildings serve one or two specific uses which allows for a range of land uses in a single development project. Provides for a variety of complementary and integrated uses that are walkable and within a given neighbourhood or development project

Adaptable Environs

The capacity to change the built-environment in order to respond and fit to the evolving demands of its users/ environment maximizing value throughout its lifecycle

Movable: Allow temporary (Meanwhile spaces) to be moveable
Adjustable: Create places that can change in order to make it more suitable
Versatile: Allow space and places to lend itself to alternative use
Refitable: Restore and repair exiting places and spaces
Convertible: Allow flexibility with the design to allow for changes in use
Scalable: Create spaces whose size, performance, or number of users can be increased on demand without a penalty in cost or functionality.
Create a wide range tenure: long-term leasehold and rent; co-ownership/ co-partnership and co-tenancy; as well as shared equity, social and private rent, and owner occupation
